I think it should be an automatic driving system of exclusive cars for motorways and other manual system for the rest of vias. This will avoid accidents and the driver could do other things instead of driving, reading, working, sleeping, etc. ..
People who want to drive a manual or sport could do so only in circuits prepared for this purpose. This will prevent many accidents, save fuel, it could regulate traffic by computer, using markers and checkpoints, gps, wifi. In the same way they do the planes and trains. Also people could be working on the car during the trip, making reports, watching movies, buying online, look after their children or just sleep
Jul 13 2011: Hi everyone, would you please check my conversation http://www.ted.com/conversations/4214/a_100_green_taxi_that_s_cheap.html and the related talks?
Edit: I keep forgetting that most people don't press links if you just ask them to do it... Anyway, my conversation is about providing really cheap, green, self-driving cars.
Feb 18 2011: This idea sounds cool and has lots of advantages. However they are downsides of doing this.
In order to do something like this, in first place it must be secure. If every car, plane, train, or any transport had its own artificial intelligence, while being off the grid, and being able to drive through and navigate safely, it would be perfect and I would trust my safety to that vehicle. But, in case of one system controlling and regulating traffic you can not assure 100% security of the system, since actions of a vehicle is being determined or at least affected via network computer. In such a case it's almost the same as driving a car with its computer connected to internet.
I think it would be even better if we develop vehicles to be intelligent and independent from system, and to be able to self drive anywhere.

Sweet details from Madeleine's bedroom / studio! Bottom right – gorgeous trinkets on the bedside table, I spy a gorgeous Betty Jo brooch in the mix! Bottom left – a collage/print by Melbourne's Beci Orpin… and behind it a print by everyone's favourite papercut genius Rob Ryan!
Omigod. Get ready for some SERIOUS Melbourne-Home eye candy. It doesn't get much better than this!
This is the gorgeous home of talented artist, illustrator and TDF favourite Madeleine Stamer (of Little Circus Design), her partner Karl (of Kings Way fame) and their 2 ridiculously cute kids Wilhelmina (aka Minnie) and Ada!
This super creative young family live in a fab deco 3 bedroom apartment in Melbourne's Elsternwick… it's not a huge family home, but it is just such a wonderfully warm and welcoming space, and so full of incredible art and creative touches! Of course Madeleine's beautiful work hangs in almost every room… but she's also an avid collector of Aboriginal art and works on paper by friends and other artists she admires.
As usual, my visit to Madeleine's home consisted of me running around the house with my camera, mouth open, gasping and gushing…"OMG is that a Rob Ryan/Beci Orpin print…!?", 'where did you get that stunning jug/artwork/piece of furniture!?' etc, whilst losing my lens cap at least 6 times and forgetting what I was saying mid-sentence. What can I say? I am easily excited!
Madeleine was wonderfully patient and answered all my questions… and she even baked me chocolate cake! How lovely is that!? Thanks so much Madeleine!
Madeleine's artwork looks even more beautiful in person than in does in these pics… please do pop over and browse the stunning collection of prints available online here!
ps) also don't forget to visit Madeleine's little blog! – she just wrote the sweetest post in which I am described as 'majestically tall'! Awesome! (tall, moi? 5ft 7″ I think…? No Amazonian… but thanks for your super lovely words Madeleine!)
Details in the TV room / kitchen – Top large black/white Aboriginal painting by Mitjili Napurrula, bottom-left painting in the kitchen is Madeleine's, bottom right paintings are early ceramic panels by Madeleine's friend Irene Grishin Selzer (aka iggy & loulou).
Three three ladies of the house – Madeleine, Wilhelmina (on the right) and little Ada wondering what on earth is going on :) Thanks so much for having me!

A main water supplier to Lubbock and the South Plains could drill hundreds of wells along its pipeline between Amarillo and Lamesa.
The Canadian River Municipal Water Authority Board met Wednesday and approved a study of the proposal. The authority has been examining other sources of water as levels in Lake Meredith remain low. The lake supplies about 80% of Lubbock's water and serves about 500,000 people in West Texas.
If the project is approved, as many as 400 wells would be built along the pipeline over a 20 year period.

The theme of this year's event is "Teamwork Makes the Dream Work!"
For the full story, pick up a copy of the Mountain Home News or click on this link to subscribe to the newspaper's online edition.
Thanks for taking the time to reply..
Could you clarify your interpretation on the conflict between Hutus and Tutsis?
I have worked with a Rwandan Tutsi and your interpretation is at odds with her reality.
Where did the lady's comment go that insulted our state and our character?
I see nothing substantive to reply to specifically.
Over many years now the media have given Idaho a bad name by artfully using photography to make a small group of bonehead skinheads "marching" look like one hundred. That depiction is NOT the character of Idaho. Giving those knuckle draggers attention empowers them, sells papers and fuels the false narrative.
Idaho is a great state. We had the first Jewish governor and have you heard of Raul Labrador? Our values transcend the trivial points of division used by the Left.
I would hope that my views of "racism" mirror yours; it is an ageless sin. We are to love one another, but man (of every race) falls short . Just consider the Hutu and Tutsi for example. These are two tribes with markedly different physical features. The Tutsi are seen as foreigners and are killed on sight. The Rwanda Genocide of 1994 is an example of racism.
Don Imus in a moment of stupidity was not a racist. He made a rude comment meant to be funny. The man has a good heart and helps kids of all races suffering from illness on his special ranch with his own money. Hypersensitivity has taken away reason and grace. Imus caved, genuflected and kissed Jesse Jackson's ring for forgiveness. That is laughable given Jackson's record on race relations ("Hymietown" 1984). In America the definition of racism has become too elastic. The likes of Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton, Carol Mosley Braun and Maxine Waters sling the term around fast and loose. This diminishes the suffering that occurred under the Jim Crow laws.
Rather than celebrate our growth and healing Sharpton and company stoke the fire of division for profit and power. Sharpton was so desperate for a soapbox of hate to stand on that he became impatient and invented one ─ the Tawana Brawley story (1987). Not to be out slung, Maxine Waters coined a nebulous term to grand stand on, "The vestiges of hate" ─ not readily visible proof of racism, but rather subtle and "institutionalized."
Sadly, from time to time there are true incidents like the dragging murder of James Byrd in Texas, but hoaxes and hype outnumber the true incidents of white-on-black racism in America. The Left forces the facts to fit the false narrative about the character of (white) America. Whites are charged with hates crimes 60% of the times and blacks only 20% of the time, but blacks are responsible for 85% of all violent interracial crime year- to- year; this does not compute.
I assure you the other flavors of hate are equally hurtful, foul tasting and more numerous but underreported, be it black-on-white (I.e. the Christian-Newsom murders in Knoxville Tenn.), black-on- Jew, Hispanic-on-black, Vietnamese-on- Filipino; the list is endless and can be read backward and be just as accurate; it is all equally sinful, but the coverage is spun for political gain and not balanced.
Incidentally, it was the Republican Party that spearheaded Civil Rights legislation. You will recall that democrats the likes of Al Gore Senior and Robert "KKK" Byrd stood in the way.
MLK would want us to love each other. I think he would agree that we were a great nation in spite of our warts. I fear that the New AmeriKa will take us backward as the Left divides and conquers. Our DOJ refuses to prosecute the black KKK known as the New Black Panther Party for voter intimidation. What message does this send?
In Ezekiel 34:1-6, the Bible addresses self-serving ―shepherds like Sharpton, Jackson and Obama's Reverend Wright, who dominate the flock and get fat feeding off of it. Chicago is awash in the blood of blacks murdered by other blacks, but we don't hear about this enough. It is a matter of selective outrage tied to an anti-American ideology not facts or justice. Blacks kill 93% of blacks murdered in the U.S. each year, but this truth runs counter to the false narrative.
"Racism" in this country is too often used as a shield from deserved criticism and a hammer to push back the critic. To consider that Michelle Obama took a lifetime to feel ─ for the first time ─ that she was proud of her country says a lot about the blinding influence of victimhood/social justice indoctrination.
When the prayer is said at the MLK breakfast on the 21st I hope it includes praise for how far America has come and for how God moves hearts to love each other as exemplified by the better parts of U.S. history. Warts and all this has always been the best place on earth.
Perhaps the committee would consider inviting the author of one of this week's letters to the editor.
In his letter, the author, Doug Traubel, states, " Today, blacks in America born after 1965 know nothing about true racism. Eight-five percent of all violent interracial crime from year to year is black on white (DOJ Uniform Crime Report yearly average over a ten-year period 2000-2010)."
Traubel continues, "In fact, blacks in America enjoy many advantages not offered to the general population."
Traubel could be given an opportunity to let us know what "true racism" is.

What Makes a Workplace One of the Best?
Six ways local companies create productive, loyal and happy employees
(page 3 of 3)
Above-Average Benefits
Today, when you talk about benefits, many employees – especially the best and brightest – expect more than just good medical coverage, vacation days and paid parking. So some of Hawaii's Best Places to Work are adding special benefits to help turn new hires into lifers and keep them excited about their jobs.
For example, Aloha Pacific Federal Credit Union's 401K plan offers a 200-percent employer match on the first 5 percent of annual pay.
"This is great, because, by contri-buting 5 percent, the employee is actually getting 15 percent of their pay with the company match," says Malcolm Inamine, director of HR administration. Almost 100 percent of the credit union's 150 employees participate in the 401K plan.
Booz Allen Hamilton, a worldwide management and technology consulting firm with an office in Honolulu, doesn't just take care of its employees; it also provides for their families. The company offers benefits for domestic partners and a Vision Scholarship Program open to college-bound dependents of employees. Every year, the company awards five $3,000 scholarships nationwide that are renewable for up to four years. BAH also has a merit-based awards program for employees, which ranges from electronic thank-you cards to bonuses of up to $2,000 or two round-trip tickets to anywhere in the U.S.
Financial advisors at Edward Jones can also win two all-expenses paid trips per year for meeting targets and successfully diversifying their clients' portfolios. Jennifer Rappenecker, Hawaii regional leader for Edward Jones, who has an office in Kihei, has won about a dozen trips since 2000, traveling to such places as Barcelona, Rome, Vancouver, Alaska and New Zealand.
Edward Jones' philosophy is that business owners think and act differently than employees, so every associate with a minimum three years of service can be considered for limited partnership. "We try to create a culture of excellence at the firm where everyone wants to make the business successful," Rappenecker says.
Zumba class at Island Insurance
Matthew Delaney of Hawaii Human Resources is deploying a different method to engage and energize employees: food. Last year, HiHR spent $68,000 on daily, catered lunches for its staff of 25. And we're not talking about tuna sandwiches.
"We mostly buy our meals from our clients or prospects," Delaney says. "Sometimes it's from Carval Catering, Wahoo Fish Tacos, Café Laufer or Beaches and Backyards."
Employees loved the program, but complained they were gaining weight, so HiHR revised it. It still offers free lunches two to three times a week, but added a refrigerator stocked with healthy foods and reimbursements for gym memberships or other fitness expenses.
The lunches are expensive, Delaney admits, but, "If you look at how much it costs and the inefficiency of most of the staff leaving for lunch, that's costly, too. If we provide lunch, employees stay in the office and many of them eat at their desks, where they will respond to e-mails, read reports or take client calls. The commitment, loyalty and extra service our staff provides our clients, that's all part of the deal, too."
Flexibility Earns Loyalty
Showing up to work every day shouldn't feel like checking into a high-security prison. Companies that offer flexible work schedules are more likely to attract and retain top talent.
"Nobody likes to feel like they're chained to their desk," says Terrance Arashiro, senior VP and chief engineer at Austin, Tsutsumi and Associates. Arashiro, who's been with the company for 15 years, says the firm's corporate culture became more flexible as it hired younger staff.
"With the younger generation, there's a stronger desire to have work-life balance," he says. "We understand how important it is to have a solid family life, so if our employees need to leave early to go to their kids' games or have a doctor's appointment, we are more than happy to work with them to accommodate their needs as long as the work gets done."
ATA also offers flexible start and end times, the option to work from home to care for a sick child, and a perk employees seem to enjoy most: half days every Friday.
"We thought of ways we could reward our employees and wanted to do something that would really make a difference, and that's how we came up with our 4.5/40 work week, meaning, we work 40 hours in 4.5 days."
Arashiro says employees enjoy the instant gratification and the new schedule was easy to implement. "Our people are great because they do what they need to do to get the job done, so oftentimes they'll work 'love time' if they need to, but, so far, it's been working out well."
For some businesses, telecommuting is also a popular option. With access to laptops, WiFi and smartphones, many employees can do just as much work remotely as in the office. Last year, HiHR purchased six Apple iPads for its sales/marketing team so they can be out on the road meeting with clients and receive wireless Internet coverage just about anywhere.
"We're definitely not clock-watchers," says Delaney. "Ultimately, flexibility comes down to trust."
The kids's room at PKF
PKF's Patrick Oki says that with all of the technology available today, business often infringes on personal lives.
"People are working at home in the evenings and checking e-mails on their phone on the weekends, so it's only fair that they should be able to do some of their personal matters during business hours," Oki says. "All we care is that the work gets done and the clients are serviced."
Traditionally, public accounting has had a reputation for high turnover because of long hours and work that can be tedious. "We want to put an end to that," says partner Trisha Nomura, who adds that PKF employees probably work fewer hours than their competitors due to ample staffing, good planning and sufficient resources. "To us, success is not just measured by profits; it's also about taking care of our people, and that means being flexible as an employer."
At Limtiaco Consulting Group, one of the staff's favorite nods to flexibility takes a different twist. Each year, everyone gets a free "Ugly Day" – an extra day off available at a moment's notice. In a company that prides itself on transparency and sharing with staff – including financial information – the holiday promotes honesty, too.
"It's up to the employees how they want to use it, and they love it," says president/partner John Katahira.
The free ugly day arose in response to a common emotional dilemma, he says. "Everybody has a day when they just don't feel like working. The tendency is to call in sick when they're not sick. So rather than having people struggle through that emotional turmoil, we have one ugly day a year that's yours to do whatever you want. No hard feelings. No feeling guilty about not coming in.
"People will actually e-mail the office, 'I'm ugly today,' and there are no questions asked."

Senate Passes Sweeping Immigration Reform Bill, 68-32
- Politics
Immigration reform has been a rare issue in 2012: one that both parties, at least in theory, agree we need. Obama brought it up as a second-term priority in his 2013 State of the Union address, saying "Let's get it done." And after their candidate, Mitt Romney, lost severely among Hispanic voters, Republican leadership identified immigration reform as a priority, to aid their party's chances in 2016.
And now, after months of debate, including the consideration of around 300 amendments, the bill took a big step closer to becoming law. If it actually passes, it would create a 13-year path to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented people living in the country, and also seriously beef up security along the Southern US border with Mexico.
But, passage of the bill beyond the Senate is anything but a done deal. Speaker of the Republican-dominated House, John Boehner, reiterated today that the House would not vote on the Senate's bill. Boehner said:
"Apparently some haven't gotten the message: The House is not going to take up and vote on whatever the Senate passes."
Optimists have voiced the opinion that bipartisan support, both in the Senate and among voters, is so high, that enough Republicans may join with Democrats to make Boehner walk back his disapproval. But that's far from a sure thing.

> I guess my central point is that the event was "fun" only for a few, and left nothing but misery for others.
And I think this is exactly the point!
As an invasion, and as an event that made you feel overwealmed and under siege, it was perfect! I also agree that if there had been some way to actually fight back the zombies, or, you know, something to do at all for mid level or lowbies would have gone a long way to making it more bearable.
Also, keep it in the major cities, or localized to a single major city could have worked, as well. I can't imagine why Arthas would have targeted Booty Bay or Darkshire, and I also can't imagine why he didn't do much MORE to the major cities!

Daniel Russell knows how to find the answers to questions you can't get to with a simple Google query. In his weekly Search Research column, Russell issues a search challenge, then follows up later in the week with his solution—using whatever search technology and methodology fits the bill. This week's challenge: What beach is he on?
Seems like just the other day I was walking down the beach, enjoying a beautiful day. Sun, sand, surf, great food, interesting people—it was all just about everything you could want in a day at the sea.
Nearby there's a very famous statue that's clad with an exterior of steatite that's places in a very, very prominent location. His right hand points to the strip of sand I was on; a world-famous beach that's famed in song and story.
What's the name of the beach?
As usual, be sure to tell us HOW you found this, and HOW LONG it took you to find the answer. Did you have to do anything unusual? If so, teach us what search magic you used to find this beautiful beach!
Search on!
Wednesday Search Challenge (10/31/12): What beach am I on? | Search ReSearch

Now to a band that I disliked the first time round I gave them a chance when I was listening to everyone at a festival I was going to, Everything Everything and as soon as I listen to their first song "Photoshop Handsome" I can remember why he sounds like a very very high pitched annoying Kele Okereke from Bloc Party wow… this is really bad band… trying waaay to hard to be indie, ew I just saw five seconds of their video and hated it I think this is all I'll be able to take and I'm not going to finish this song or post it's video. Very bad.

Customer Reviews
I bought these a halve size bigger because I have wide feet. They are still kind of tight. I'll have to soak them in water and wear them until they dry to fit me right. I realize not all shoe manufacturers size their shoes the same.
Love Clarks shoes. These are no exception. Construction is like that of a boat shoe, flexible sole with lots of gripping power. If you require firm arch support, these may not be the best choice. These are attractive shoes that will go well with casual attire.
have not had them long enough to give an opinion of their quality, I just know that Clark shoes are good.

The bundles are one-stop shops for point of sale fraud, including a rigged reader, a network of grey merchants who'll transform ill-gotten goods into cash, and various purchase options. The only missing ingredient: a larcenous waiter or store clerk.
Small businesses beware! Point-of-sale malware is after you
Malware targeting point-of-sale (POS) systems has been a major trend for the last six months. With easy pickings to be had from mom-and-pop shops, this pattern is only going to grow until people start fighting back with better system security, and ideally better payment card systems.

See here http://www.loregy.com/titan/blizzard-titan-what-is-the-new-blizzard-mmo/
Its thew new mmo blizzard announced a few months ago.
So far we know nothing except that its going to be contentiously updated along with WoW, so its most likely not set in the Warcraft universe.
Personally, I'm hoping for World of Starcraft.
Just please, for the love of all that is right, don't be an fps mmo.
It's been speculated about for some time. A lot longer than, "a few months".
It was "announced" a few years ago and "Titan" is just the project name. Jeffrey Kaplan (Tigole) left the WoW dev team to start working on it back in 2009.
Some of the vague hints and speculation that's been gathered imply that it'll be a mixture of sci-fi, fantasy, and reality, and possibly involves time travel and mythological lost cities like Atlantis and Teotihuacan.
Here's Jeffrey Kaplan's actual quote on Titan's setting from way back in 2008:
"...I'm shocked we haven't seen more sci-fi, near-future, post-apocalyptic, historical MMOs; there's all these completely different fantasy settings beyond the traditional high fantasy ones."
So is Blizzard's new MMO going to be sci-fi, near-future, post-apocalyptic or historical? "All of those combined!" he said, laughing.

Every time someone says "World of StarCraft", it annoys me.
There are 12 worlds in StarCraft. That would be like making another Star Wars MMO, and naming it "World of Star Wars."
And if it hasn't been made clear yet, it has nothing to do with any existing IP. Titan will be, from all info and reports about it, a casual scifi-based MMO with in-game ads. Possibly F2P, supported by an online store.

Jaipur, India
19th century
Drawing, ink and opaque watercolour on paper, depicting Krishna embracing Radha, behind Krishna is a cow and behind Radha a peacock. In the foreground is a lake, and in the background is a terrace with trees and flowers
Gopi & Gopal
ॐ Divine Love ॐ
I bow down before a splendour that bears the name Radha, a splendour that has limbs splendid like millions of lightning flashes, a beautiful face splendid with bliss, bimba-fruit lips splendid like coral, hands splendid like budding twigs, breasts splendid like golden lotus buds, a splendour that has lotus eyes, a splendour that enjoys charming pastimes in the newly-blossoming forest groves. ★ ♡ ॐ
Kali, Ma,
You're dressed as Rasavihari,
Vrindavan dancer!
Your mantras are various
and so are Your activities; who can grasp them?
The subject is extraordinarily difficult.
Half Your body's matchless Radha,
a woman, and the other half's a man—
a yellow cloth tied at Your waist,
Your wild hair knotted back, and a flute
in Your hand.
Once You infatuated Tripura's Enemy
stealing sideways glances at Him, but this time
it's women You tempt
with Your beautiful black figure
and hinting eyes.
Your laugh used to be dreadful;
it threw into a panic
the three worlds.
Now You speak sweetly.
Girls in Vraj swoon.
As Syama, You danced in a sea of blood; today Your favorite waters
are the Yamuna.
Prasad laughs, flooded with delight:
after thinking hard, I finally get it—
Siva, Krsna, and the black-bodied Syama
they're all one
but nobody else can see it.
—Ramprasad Sen
Let yes yes flow from your mouth like amrita
Sung to Raga Vibhasa
Come, Radha, come. Krishna follows your
every desire.
'Soil my bed with indigo footprints, Kamini,
lay waste the grove
savage it with your petal-soft feet.
'I take your feet in lotus hands, Kamini,
you have come far.
Lay those gold flaring anklets across my bed.
'Let yes yes flow from your mouth like amrita.
From your breasts, Kamini,
I draw off the dukula-cloth. We are no longer separate.'
–from the Gitagovinda (xii.2, 3, 4) by Jayadeva
Oxford Anthology of Bhakti Literature (2011:69)
"My dear Sati, persons who are devoted to Narayana (Krsna) are not afraid of anything. If they are elevated to the higher planetary systems, or if they get liberation from material contamination, or if they are pushed down to hellish condition of life—or, in fact, in any situation whatever—they are not afraid of anything. Simply because they have taken shelter of the lotus feet of Narayana, for them any position in the material world is as good as another."
-Lord Siva
Srimad Bhagavatam 6.17.52
Upon hearing the transcendental song of Krishna's flute, the otherwise chaste gopis abandon their husbands and rush in to the forest, following the sound to meet Krishna. Upon seeing a lone Krishna playing his long murali-flute in the otherwise quiet grove they become ecstatic and all wish to dance with him, Krishna being ever merciful to the desires of his lovers suddenly appears in many forms to dance with each of them. Not wanting the ecstatic dance to end, this one night is mystically extended to be as long as a day of Brahmaji. Whereas it may seem Krishna dances with the wives of other men, his lovers being his infinite shakti, he merely dances with his own shadows.
The elegance of true love
Krishna (by The Crane Dance)
That's wonderful! I am not a biographer, but you can read a brief summation of his story here: http://prabhupada.krishna.com/his-biography
The latter part of his life was spent spreading Krishna consciousness to hungry Western minds and lives, and at his parting from his body he was surrounded by many disciples who may never have known in this era the bliss of knowledge of and service to Krishna without Srila Prabhupada's excellent work and mission. Hare Krishna!
Hello! I do indeed worship both Krishna and Kali. I worship Krishna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead (meaning, there are many incarnations of God, and many forms of divinity, but Krishna is the utmost), and my primary practice of this is through the daily chanting of the maha-mantra (you can read more about this here). I worship Kali, however, as a goddess particular to my pastimes within the material plane, and my practice includes nightly puja.
I worship Kali alongside Kalki for their martial connection; in Kalki Purana the two merge into one on the battlefield. I worship Kali and Krishna in tandem as siblings. In one aspect, Jagannath as Krishna and Subhadra as Shakti along with their brother Balaram are often worshipped together. Also, in Srimad Bhagavatam, when King Kamsa attempts to kill a child of the imprisoned Devaki who he fears will fulfill the prophecy that such a child will lead to his death (this child being Krishna), the infant manifests as Durga:
Having uprooted all relationships with his sister because of intense selfishness, Kaṁsa, who was sitting on his knees, grasped the newborn child by the legs and tried to dash her against the surface of a stone.
The child, Yoga-māyā-devī, the younger sister of Lord Viṣṇu, slipped upward from Kaṁsa's hands and appeared in the sky as Devī, the goddess Durgā, with eight arms, completely equipped with weapons.
The goddess Durgā was decorated with flower garlands, smeared with sandalwood pulp and dressed with excellent garments and ornaments made of valuable jewels. Holding in her hands a bow, a trident, arrows, a shield, a sword, a conchshell, a disc and a club, and being praised by celestial beings like Apsarās, Kinnaras, Uragas, Siddhas, Cāraṇas and Gandharvas, who worshiped her with all kinds of presentations, she spoke as follows.
O Kaṁsa, you fool, what will be the use of killing me? The Supreme Personality of Godhead, who has been your enemy from the very beginning and who will certainly kill you, has already taken His birth somewhere else. Therefore, do not unnecessarily kill other children.
After speaking to Kaṁsa in this way, the goddess Durgā, Yoga-māyā, appeared in different places, such as Vārāṇasī, and became celebrated by different names, such as Annapūrṇā, Durgā, Kālī and Bhadrā.
Purport to the last verse:
The goddess Durgā is celebrated in Calcutta as Kālī, in Bombay as Mumbādevī, in Vārāṇasī as Annapūrṇā, in Cuttack as Bhadrakālī and in Ahmedabad as Bhadrā. Thus in different places she is known by different names. Her devotees are known as śāktas, or worshipers of the energy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, whereas worshipers of the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself are called Vaiṣṇavas. Vaiṣṇavas are destined to return home, back to Godhead, in the spiritual world, whereas the śāktas are destined to live within this material world to enjoy different types of material happiness. In the material world, the living entity must accept different types of bodies. Bhrāmayan sarva-bhūtāni yantrārūḍhāni māyayā (Bg. 18.61). According to the living entity's desire, Yoga-māyā, or Māyā, the goddess Durgā, gives him a particular type of body, which is mentioned as yantra, a machine. But the living entities who are promoted to the spiritual world do not return to the prison house of a material body (tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti mām eti so 'rjuna). The words janma na eti indicate that these living entities remain in their original, spiritual bodies to enjoy the company of the Supreme Personality of Godhead in the transcendental abodes Vaikuṇṭha and Vṛndāvana.
If you have any further questions or anything you would like to discuss, please let me know! Hare Krishna!

USCG Merchant Marines Drug Test
Our USCG Merchant Marines Drug Test is specifically designed for those people applying for:
- Merchant Marines
- USCG Captain's License
- USCG Captain's License Renewal
The Coast Guard and Merchant Marines are absolutely meticulous about their requirements. Fortunately, Health Street knows the USCG drug testing rules in detail, and we have developed a proven 3 step process for getting it done right, the first time, every time.
When you order this service from Health Street, we ensure that the required test, known as a DOT 5 Panel Drug Test, the required laboratory, known as a SAMHSA certified laboratory, the required doctor, known as an MRO or medical review officer, and the required paperwork, known as the CG-719P, are exactly what you need.
How does Health Street's 3 step USCG drug test package work?
Health Street has helped thousands of people complete the highly specific USCG drug testing requirements with ease. Here is our proven 3-step process:
1. DOT 5 Panel drug test - Federal Custody and Control Form
First we'll send you a Federal Custody and Control Form (CCF), also known as a DOT chain of custody (COC). When you receive this in the mail, you will then come into one of our clinics. Note that many people ask us if they can download the form online from our website or the Coast Guard website, or if it can be emailed or faxed. The answer is, unfortunately, "No," because the federal government still requires a 5 part carbon copy form, also known as a CCF or COC, each with a unique serial number printed on it.
2. SAMHSA lab and MRO review
Second, you will come to your chosen Health Street location and provide a urine specimen at that time. Your specimen will be automatically sent overnight to our SAMHSA Certified Laboratory for analysis. When the lab completes their analysis, which can take from 1 to 5 business days, the report will be electronically transmitted to Health Street's Medical Review Officer (MRO), a licensed physician. This doctor will review the test in accordance with 49 CFR Part 40, Subpart G, and then create and sign the results report.
Finally, our MRO will fill out and sign the form called the CG-719P. We'll mail the original to your home, since you will need to bring this completed form with you to the US Coast Guard or Merchant Marines to get your Captains License and/or Renewal.
How do I get my results?
Both the signed results report, as well as the CG-719P, will be posted to your secure online account on our website, as soon as it is ready. You can download it as a pdf, but the originals will also be mailed to your physical address.
Please allow two weeks for the process from beginning to end. The majority of the time is waiting for the mail. The time can be significantly reduced if you wish to use 1 day shipping. Let us know if it's urgent, and we'll overnight the chain of custody to you, as well as the signed CG-719P report, for an extra $50 per shipment. Call us to schedule a USCG drug test or order conveniently online today.

NORTH POLE, AK-It's always good to see high schoolers progress and make important decisions regarding their promising futures.
Today three North Pole athletes signed national letters of intent. In the Patriots library flanked by their parents the three Ws. Laura Wolfe, Ashley Wilkes and Ryan Wicklund signed the papers.
Wilkes, a North Pole goalie will go East to the University of New Hampshire. The Wildcats, located in Durham, NH, are a division one Hockey East conference member with two Frozen Four appearances in 06' and 08' led by 11 year head coach Brian McCloskey. The Wildcats had a 10-8-3 conference record and they had a 9-7-1 record which was better than their home record. Wilkes had interests from Providence, University of Boston and other schools.
Wolfe, the Patriots midfielder, will head to Southwestern Oregon Community College for soccer. Wolfe and head coach Allan Ledesma if SWOCC had a mutual interest as both communicated about Wolfe being a part of the Lakers. The Lakers soccer team had 14 players on their roster last season and Ledesma has long coaching history of local high school and clup teams in the Oregon area. Wolfe joins Callie Franz who also signed to SWOCC for basketball.
Last but not least Wicklund signed to play football with Presentation College in Aberdeen, South Dakota. The Patriots middle linebacker and fullback will be a part of something new. The Saints had their first season of division three football last fall finishing with a 3-7 record. Andy Carr is the head coach and help start of the football program at Presentation. Dom Anderson, a West Valley product and North Pole native is also a part of the Saints football team.
All three signees say the family atmospheres of their colleges were key factors in their decisions.
"Seems like a family and stuff and you know I don't want to be going to a school where the girls are all caddy and stuff. Like, I want it to be a real team and not just like a whole bunch of girls getting together just to play soccer but to actually want to be there. I don't if I could just go to college without playing a sport. It gives me the incentive to do good in college," Wolfe said.
"It was like the perfect size school for me and they have the program I want to get into and I was offered a starting position next year. I met the girls and they're all super fun and [I] just like the competitiveness between each other is really good but they have a strong sense of like, family," Wilkes said.
Wicklund likes to embrace the underdog role with his new team. The Saints were the only program actively pursuing Wicklund.
"Close community. Close sense of family. You know it's a small program so there's always going to be a challenge to win. I like that. I don't like being a powerhouse school, [I] like the small man you know, being able to battle for the championship," Wicklund said.
