You could add vertical brackets to the ceiling, say a foot in from each side. That would give you an effective 3 foot span. Put a decorative panel or something in the middle that swings/lifts away when you want to do chin-ups. Make it look like part of the decor.

Three-step manual mounting and adjustment:
1. Determine the boot sole length.
2. Open the toe-lever, slide on the toe and close at the appropriate position.
3. Hook the brake to the heel, slide on the heel and close the heel lever at the appropriate position.
Note: Before handing out the ski, place the boot into the binding to check forward pressure – the indicator should rest in the marked area.
LiteRail System
Presenting the HEAD LITERAIL System engineered by TYROLIA:
The completely redesigned, manually adjustable successor of RAILFLEX LITE delivers the perfect retail, demo, and rental experience with lightweight, great on-mountain performance and deadly good looks.
Due to three different mid parts, LITERAIL covers boots from 199 to 347mm sole length (short: 199-283mm, medium: 239-323mm, large: 263-347mm). LITERAIL is compatible with three different binding models: LR 4.5, LR 7.5, and ONE LR 9.
Compared to the previous RAILFLEX LITE base, the new LITERAIL (LR) base is lower and narrower: Better, more integrated looks, easily mountable on skis from 87cm onwards without interfering with flex characteristics.

The Details
Colette Ottoman
Dimensions: 38" w x 16" h x 38" d
Item#: 207301
Composition and Construction
Engineered Hardwood frame construction allows for greater durability and strength. Mortise and tenon joints have replaced traditional dowel construction used in frame construction. The mortise (hole or slot) is cut into one member and the tenon or tongue from the adjoining piece fits tightly so that, when glued, these joints act as if the wood has grown together. This method of interlocking joinery provides greater stability with fewer joints. Frames are constructed of 7-ply engineered hardwood panels for increased strength and durability. Frames are glued and stapled.
Webbing construction is used for firm seating comfort in narrow style platforms. Minimal cushioning provides firm yet comfortable seating support.
The upholstered tight seat is constructed of a polyurethane foam and polyester fiber for a clean, tailored appearance and firm seating.
Additional Options for this Upholstery product available in our Design Centers
Choose from among our kickpleat, decorative pleat, half skirt, shirred skirt and waterfall skirt options.
Trim can take a sofa, chair or ottoman up a venerable style notch. From rope braid and fringe to decorative ribbon and nail heads, the options are only as limited as your imagination.

Cant get those socks just right? Frustrated with that scarf? Why not rent a granny to just take care of that for you? Have a look: http://www.netgranny.ch/sockenshop/
Here is the bag going to the recipient of the slytherin bag's sister....
Here it is! Anybody ever knit this? Any advice?
or the dis-membered appendages of a Penguin.
I was forwarded this poem written by Nancy Massaroni. Enjoy!
`Twas the night before Christmas and all around me
Was unfinished knitting not under the tree.
OK I guess this is off topic as it is a crochet project. Is that legal?
I was just admiring Tom's posted picture of the Queen Anne Lace shawl that he knit for his sister. I would like to try doing some lace knitting but, I admit, it scares the bejeebers out of me.
Made with leftover yarn. This one WAS five panels, but I also knit it quite tightly. It doesn't roll properly, but it looked nice on mom...
Looking for a cool (as in brilliant) felted wool slipper pattern! Anyone have any ideas? I'd like to make them for a friend for Christmas. Thanks!!!
I found this scarf somewhere, don't remember where now. and thought it looked cool. I know it's knit, and that's all I know. It looks like maybe some drop stitches?

Humans hear millions of sounds everyday. For many people, an alarm clock begins the morning. A trickling coffee pot may filter a hot cup of Joe. And as you start your car, the engine roars as you drive to work or school. Some sounds are pleasant, like birds singing in the trees. But there are plenty of other sounds that drive people crazy. What sound makes people cringe the most? According to an article in Time Magazine this week, whining is one of the most bothering sounds ever.
Researchers for the Journal of Social, Evolutionary, and Cultural Psychology had participants do math problems as various sounds were played in the background. Levels of concentration varied as they heard silence, talking, "motherese" (aka baby talk), whining and a high-pitched table saw. To make sure participants weren't distracted by the words themselves, the researchers played foreign language recordings. In the end, whining affected participant's productivity on their subtraction equations more than the other sounds. According to the study's co-author and professor of psychology at SUNY New Paltz, Rosemarie Sokol Chang, people of both sexes did fewer problems and did those worse when they heard the whines. Scientists tend to pay more attention to the effect of the other three sounds on humans, so Chang hopes this study will result in further research on whining.

"It was nice to get the first win today," said head coach Tony Skole. "I was very impressed with our team today. Throughout the game I thought we handled some adverse situations very well against a very good baseball team. We lost the lead three times today, but were able to show some poise and play through it.
Freshman Scott McNally (
Junior Ben Booker (
The Wildcats took an early lead in the first inning as Nick Martini doubled to left driving in two to go in front 2-0. In the next at bat, right fielder Mike Kindel dumped a single into left scoring Martini to take a 3-0 lead.
First baseman Paul Hoilman (
The home run by Hoilman was his first of the season and 27th of his career, and puts him atop the Atlantic Sun active home run leader board.
The Cats regained the lead in the bottom of the sixth on a Matt Giller RBI single through the right side to give K-State a 5-4 advantage. With the bases loaded sophomore Josh Means (
The Buccaneers evened things at 5-all in the top of the seventh as Doane drove in Hoilman on an RBI fielders choice after Hoilman advanced to third on a Derek Trent (Kingsport, Tenn.) single to left.
Hoilman came up big for the Bucs in the top of the ninth as he doubled to right center driving in centerfielder Matthew Scruggs (Knoxville, Tenn.) and Reeder to give ETSU a 7-5 lead. The Buccaneers added three insurance runs in the inning on RBI singles by Trent and Byrne, and a RBI double by Doane to extend the ETSU lead to 10-5.
In the bottom of the ninth, the Wildcats picked up a run on a RBI single by Carter Jurica to make the final 10-6.
"I thought our pitching and defense were solid again today" Skole said. "Add that with 18 hits and you should have a good chance to win. Paul and Chas gave us a spark offensively, and Kerry was outstanding. It was fun to watch them play today. It will be nice to be outside for the third straight day against another good opponent."
ETSU was led offensively by Doane and Hoilman, as Doane was 4-for-5 on the day with a double and two RBI, while Hoilman was 3-for-5 with two doubles, a home run and drove in four.
The Bucs are back in action tomorrow at 10 a.m. as they take on
Pitchers: ETSU - Ben Booker; Josh Means (6); Scott McNally (8); Bo Burton (9)
KSU - Evan Marshall; Jake Doller (7); Kieth Picht (9)
Win - Scott McNally (1-0) Loss - Jake Doller (0-1)
HR - ETSU - Paul Hoilman (1)

Pushing the boundaries of what fans have come to expect from the record-setting entertainment franchise, Call of Duty: Black Ops II propels players into a near future, 21st Century Cold War, where technology and weapons have converged to create a new generation of warfare between old and new foes. In this conflict, the mechanized creations of men reign supreme, facing off against each other as their creators stay safe and unconflicted, and in the process grow ever softer. In this scenario an important question will be asked: What happens when enemy steals the keys? To understand such a possible future, you must understand where you have been.
Players of Call of Duty: Black Ops II gain an understanding of this and more through the game's additional timeline set in the late Cold War era of the 1980's. Within the campaign story, which spans these two eras, players will see familiar faces such as Alex Mason, his son David Mason, and Sgt. Frank Woods. Linking these together will be the rise of another player in the conflict, Raul Menendez.
The Biggest Zombies Experience to Date: Call of Duty: Black Ops II Zombies features three different ways to survive the zombie apocalypse. Unravel the mysteries of a dying Earth in Tranzit, fight endless waves of zombies in Survival mode, or compete in the new 4z4 last-human-standing mode, Grief.
1-4 player co-op in a large open world with a variety of locations. The new Buildables gameplay elements help players move through each area to find the key tidbits that reveal why they are there and what they must do to survive. All the while, public transportation is still operational, as a bus will regularly stop at each location. Zombies ride for free.
Recreating the classic mode of just purely surviving the shambling, incoming Zombie horde, Survival mode allows you to play 1-4 players co-op in specific locations from the much larger Tranzit area.
You and friends can take on up to 4 people in a team vs. Zombies vs. team scenario. 2-8 players are thrown in a situation to be the last humans standing.
Call of Duty: Black Ops II features new and extensive stat tracking as well as leaderboards for bragging rights. New skill-based matchmaking system will allow players of the same ability to take on the horrors of the night in public game modes. For players that are looking for an extra challenge, Zombies features custom games: Headshots only, higher starting rounds, and toggling of extra items are all available.

Venue: Valencia
Circuit Length: 5.419 Km
Laps: 57
Lap Record: 1:38.683 = 197.687 km/h - Timo Glock (Toyota) 2009
2012 Results:
Pole Position: Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull Renault); 1:38.086
1st: Fernando Alonso (Scuderia Ferrari) 1:44:16:649
2nd: Kimi Raikkonen (Lotus Renautl) 6.4s behind
3rd: Michael Schumacher (Mercedes) 12.6s behind
Fastest Lap: Nico Rosberg (Mercedes); 1:42.163
"Jornada fantastica" for Fernando
Ferrari's Fernando Alonso ended Formula One's record run of different winners to take the championship lead by 20 points in a dramatic European Grand Prix under blue skies in Valencia.
Alonso, who took victory less than 24 hours after his national soccer team secured their place in the semi-finals at Euro 2012, picked up a Spanish flag to wave on his victory lap giving his home crowd every reason to celebrate.
"The stands were full of colour and Spanish flags. I am feeling very proud to be Spanish at the moment. This is possibly the best victory I have ever had," he said in the post race press conference.
Alonso was joined on the podium by Lotus Renault's, Kimi Raikkonen and Mercedes driver, Michael Schumacher.
The largely processional race at the Harbour side venue was turned upside down when Jean-Eric Vergne's Toro Rosso collided with Heikki Kovalainen's Caterham on the 27th lap, prompting the deployment of the safety car. This closed the field until the 34th lap, when racing started again.
Alonso started from 11th place on the grid and found himself up to third when the safety car was deployed. He was running second to reigning World Champion and early leader Sebastian Vettel when the 24-year-old Red Bull driver coasted to a stop by the side of the track on lap 34 of the 57 lap race.
The frustrated German said his team were not sure exactly what had caused the problem but suggested the safety car period may have had something to do with it.
"The engine stalled, the engine switched off and there's nothing that we could have done," he said.
"There is not much we could have done better today. It's just reliability. We all work on the limit and so does the car so, surely it's a shame, but I think up to that point we did everything right. Perfect pitstops, perfect start, perfect race. I think everyone has seen what would have happened."
The Spanish crowd erupted as the Ferrari driver took the lead in his second home race for the season en route to his 29th career victory.
Lotus Renault's Romain Grosjean retired from second place on lap 40 with a suspected alternator problem in what could have been a podium finish for the Frenchman, promoting Hamilton to P2 with 17 laps to go.
Grosjean's Lotus Renault teammate Raikkonen overtook Hamilton for P2 in the closing laps as Hamilton struggled with tyre wear and rear grip. As Maldonado also attempted a pass on the McLaren driver, the two came together putting Lewis into the wall with only one lap to go.
With Mark Webber on his tail, Schumacher took his first podium of the 2012 season and the first of his F1 comeback making him the oldest man on the rostrum since Australia's Sir Jack Brabham in 1970.
Webber overcame DRS problems in practice and qualifying that saw him start from P19 to finish fourth behind Schumacher putting him in second place in the World Championship on 91 points.
Force India's Nico Hulkenberg clung on for an excellent fifth place finish, but Di Resta lost sixth to Rosberg on the final lap. Jenson Button had yet another low-key race to eighth in the second McLaren, holding off Perez as Maldonado limped home in 10th without his front wing after the collision with Hamilton.
The Venezuelan was followed home by his Williams partner Bruno Senna, who got a drive-through penalty for a collision with Sauber's Kamui Kobayashi. Senna later inherited his team mate's single point when stewards added 20 seconds to Maldonado's race time over his clash with Hamilton.
Webber's compatriot Daniel Ricciardo survived a collision with Caterham's Vitaly Petrov to take 12th ahead of the Russian and team mate Kovalainen. That became 11th after Maldonado's penalty.
Alonso now leads the championsahip on 111 points, from Webber on 91. Hamilton is third on 88 and Vettel on 85, as Rosberg moves to fifth on 75 and Raikkonen to sixth on 73.

To have control on print and electronic media, making it mandatory to publish some percentage of "any" positives happening around
I am proposing this idea, because at times, I find no control on the news which is being spread by different mediums,it is either biased or too negative. I completely agree over the fact that media is mirror of what's happening in the society, but when they completely forget their responsibility to publish positives happening around, and there is no control on media houses for doing this in free society. It is not asking about controlling what they print, its all about proposing to publish at least some percentage of news which brings a positive outlook from everybody, for example: Success stories of people who brought little but significant changes, steps taken for environment concerns by individuals etc and there may be many more. By glorifying good works of commoners, which do happen at every level of society, it will give a boost to many others who want to start something positive but backout for not being noticed. Being practical, I would consider here that nothing is completely selfless in this world. Consider the kind of news we are being fed everyday:
Politics, crimes, entertainment, strange surveys on relationships, meaningless researches which do not yield anything positive but keeps coming everyday.
Its all about forcing media houses to publish at least something positive on the front page, and on their portals, and there can be an international vigilance body to monitor all electronic media.
I am asking it to be "forced", because all the news around us, isn't helping us anyways.
Aren't you fed up with the words like, loot, murder, rape, racism, attack, violence, strikes, scams, terror suspects, bomb plots etc etc, and this idea is not to oppose these reporting, but its all about bringing forward small positives, no matter if it come forcefully!
Will deeply appreciate views of TED members.
Note: Deleted the word government from the idea, it may be any independent body which can be trusted and accepted.
May 9 2012: You have very good intentions, but I am against forcing media to broadcast or write any type of particular set of news.
You are right though in your analysis about the media in the democratic countries. I shall say even more than you said. Media is not just a mirror of the reality. The media is also the forger (designer) of the mental reality in us and around us, particularly affecting the children & adolescents. Openly, the media likes to underestimate its role in affecting our lives, because it wants to evade the burden of the responsibility laid on its shoulders for the obvious deterioration of our modern society. When I say media I mean to the broader context including also the entertainment industry of movies, music, TV reality shows and so on. The Reporting Media has been more specialized in developing the News industry. And all this is done ONLY for the sake of earning more money, more power on the masses, more influence on the policy makers. In this sense, these industries remind the traditional institutionalized religions which also have become kind of an industry to suck the money of the masses and to gain power over them. What's common to the media and the institutionalized religions that they both act in the name of some noble principles: The one in the name of God and the another in the name of Freedom. But the both industries, like all industries, care more for the size of their back accounts or other benefits.
Saying all this, I am still against forcing upon media what you suggest. But I side with forcing upon it measures relating to their honesty, relating to giving complete & true information to their consumers and so on. That's why I suggested in my original comment to the talk, JP Rangaswami: Information is food, that the media should be forced to attach to its reports their credibility levels as rated by their consumers. It's exactly like forcing food manufacturers or cigarettes manufacturers to attach warning to their products.
May 9 2012: I honestly admire your views, and also got deep insights to the problem from the things you have shared. I am also partly convinced that forcing something is not the wisest idea around, but what can be other way out? Do you see any other thing apart from controlling it forcefully? Preaching these things to media houses is of no use, I have tried many times escalating the false and utterly misleading information being published by them. I feel helpless at times, when I see no control over it. Even in the end of any news, we have been left with the option..."Do you like this story?"..... Can social media be useful in protesting against this?
May 9 2012: Controlling it forcefully has so many anti arguments and reasons. It's against democratic values, it's against democratic laws. Also, what you hate might be favored by others. For example I am repelled by most of the reality shows, but I am in minority with this. The majority of people get deeply indulged in those shows or even get addicted to them.
You should keep in mind that big changes do not occur briefly or suddenly. It's a matter of long processes and related also to a change in the awareness of the masses. Feeling helpless about things you don't like and cannot change, is common to many other people and happen all the time with countless other matters in your life. The trick is, on the one hand keep protesting in a legitimate manner as much as you can, but on the other hand, not letting yourself getting over-frustrated and over-annoyed by this.
The way you protest here and try to find others thinking like you is one of the ways. Social media can definitely be a very good way to spread your thoughts. The point is you have to be persistent, patient and try taking everything in a proportionate & balanced manner without giving up the zeal you have to make the desired changes.
May 9 2012: I am moved by your thoughts and words. I do and will keep trying my level best to see these changes. I shall also try rephrasing my question for the same... Thanks a lot for your help and guidance.May 24 2012: "It's not a production issue, it's a consumption issue."
Put your self on a "Consumption Diet." Each one of our bodie's senses consumes. We consume our environment's information by sight, sound, taste, scent and touch.
We cannot control what environments are available, however we can control what environment we allow ourselves in. Be it the movies we watch, the books we read, the websights we visit, the biases we give into, the people we surround ourselves with, the air we breath, the bed we rest on or the perspectives we have; we have the ability to govern our individual habitat and reality. It all regards what we come into contact with, and from there what we choose to remember.
Exercise focussing what it is in your environment that you can change. Exercise recognising a perspective that uplifts you, listening to music that uplifts you. Exercise reading what interests you.
I guess what I am trying to make point about, is that we cannot monitor the masses. We can only monitor what we choose to listen to, look at, question about, etc...
Thank you.
May 28 2012: It's both. The both parties should control themselves. If you have read my above posts in this debate, you have seen that I control fairly well my consumption. But I do not think only about myself. Children and adolescents cannot easily go into Consumption Diet. It's like us when we were children. Here needs to be the responsibility of the producers, manufacturers….. etc.
I did not say we have to monitor the masses. I said we have to monitor those who monitor the masses, like the media, food producers like McDonald and others, cigarettes manufacturers, etc. I have suggested above how to monitor them fairly, without violating their legitimate rights. Partly it is already has being done. But to dump everything just on the consumption issue is like suggesting to throw piles of 100$ bills at the middle of a bustling road in a downtown, and then saying that the responsibility for so many people who rushed to collect the bills and got ran over by cars, is only of these people because they did not control their consumption habits.

May 8 2012: First they came for the environmentalists I said nothing as I was not an environmentalist, then they came for the academics I said nothing as I was not an academic, then they came for the Tedsters I said nothing as I was not a Tedster, then they came for me no one said anything as there was no one left.May 8 2012: strange double mindset you have. you appreciate the views of others, yet you seek ways to silence media by law. what if their view is to deliver what sells the best? what if murders and earthquakes interest more people? would you like to discuss it, or just shut their mouth? what if someone decides to shut your mouth? why your first solution is force? why do you want to use violence and force in order to avoid hearing about violence and force?
- +1
May 9 2012: Hi Krisztián, I am not sure if you have understood completely what I wanted to convey or may be I wasn't able to explain my exact feelings. Anyways, I would like to request you firstly, not to take the word "FORCE" otherwise.. Its all about projecting the positives, because it can yield spectacular results in human mindsets. I just went through this talk http://www.ted.com/talks/jp_rangaswami_information_is_food.html; where Mr Rangaswami has also emphasized the fact of taking information seriously as we take our food.
It is evident for media houses the negativity sells, and they are trying to cash this very fact as much as possible, and there is no control over this, in electronic media, word like scams, corruption etc fetch more clicks then any other news.
My solution is never force, its just putting a watchdog to take care of some small fraction of mandatory positives happening all around us. If they will come in a control way, what's the harm do you see in it?
I am not discouraging that other news shall not make headlines, I am just proposing mandatory inclusion of positives through media. and obviously, there shall never be any use of violence over it and it is not for glorifying the different governments, its about bringing forward the success stories of small town heros.
Please let me know if you need more clarification on it.
May 9 2012: without force, what do you think "mandatory" means? what will those watchdogs do if they find the prescribed ratio not met?
the food example is a case of using one bad solution as a precedence for another bad solution. many governments try to regulate food to promote heathy eating. this is a complete waste of time, and an intrusion to personal space. only by educating the people, can we go forward.
May 9 2012: Intrusion in personal space for good reasons and with honest intentions shall not be taken otherwise. We all are outcome of what we consume, and it is true for information also. Mandatory is just a word used here, and not a forced law. What I have proposed here is an idea and not a law. You have every reason to rebut, but it can help us if you have something to bring forward in the form of any improvement. What's your idea to curb this menace? I have very examples to site here, but can't because of word limitations, where these so called "news" are tempering the way we treat others. Specially in India, the suspicious nature that every human has developed in them towards other is the result of this so called "news". Please take my idea in broad perceptive, its not all about using force, there is something positive also in it, which can be discussed seriously instead of completely writing it off.May 9 2012: what do you mean by good reason? you want to interfere with my life for my sake? thanks, but no thanks. i'm an adult person, and i can decide what kind of news i want to read. i don't need you or any watchdog to tell me what to do. if you can't decide for yourself what sources to pay attention and what not, you can hire someone to filter news for you.
mandatory is just a word use. that is my point, not yours. mandatory means forced. you just play with words saying it is not forced but mandatory. it is force in the rawest sense. not complying news agencies will be fined and finally shut down. their workers will lose their jobs, and families will left without income. it is not some theoretical framework. we deal with actual people here. you want to destroy the life-long work of someone because you have a different idea what they should do with their own newspaper or tv channel which they created and maintained. this is in no sense different than putting a gun at their head, and force them to leave and give up their property. it is literally the same as armed robbery.
May 9 2012: If you will start looking at something with completely negative mindset, you will find hundred flaws in and ignoring even simple goods. I am not trying to play with words, just trying to convey my thoughts with the limited linguistic skills I have. You are an adult and you are sane enough to decide what's best food for your mind, but why do you want to ignore rest of the population, who is getting crazier day by day because of bombardment of negative information on them? Don't they have right to read positives in the same news.
I am sorry Krisztian, but with your mindset, your conclusions are completely valid for you, but they can't be generalized, and believe me there is always a scope for improvement, no matter if it is not my way or if it is your way, but there has to be something. Its same like google added positive psychology section to its news columns. The basic thought is to prevent the influence of negative information around us, if it seems like an armed robbery to you, I would appreciate better ideas from you instead of leaving things as it is.
I have also added a talk by Peter Diamandis in which it is discussed initially. Again, I am just asking you the way to prevent it, rebutting is perfectly fine, but I will appreciate kinder words.May 9 2012: i don't have a negative mindset. i have the most positive mindset ever. i trust people and their decisions. i trust that they can arrange their lives. i believe that if anything, they need some education and information. but i don't think we need to babysit people.
you say that i can select news, and i assume you can too, but others can't? what kind of arrogance is that? what makes you that much better? what makes you so special that you believe your world-view fits other people better than their own world-view?
and what is that aggression? if you think other people are wrong, how can be your first thought not education, arguments but some legislation that makes other opinions unlawful?
google added positive psychology? and they were forced by what agency? none? you see, that is what we need. if there is demand, someone will work on it, and create supply. that is what we want to do. raise awareness, talk about it, argue, try things, create new services, and let people do their stuff freely.
and what is that outrage that you need "kinder words"? you plan to put a gun at people's head, and command them to comply with your demands. and then you want kind words? you are planning to destroy lives, destroy fruits of life-long work and effort, but you dislike harsh words? come on.
May 9 2012: Dear Krisztian, I have never opposed anything you said, I just proposed one idea. and when you say aggression, I leave it to readers discretion for all above arguments. I asked for kinder words because you started your answer with "strange double mindset you have", which obviously seem judging somebody and imposing your judgement on them. You have every right to dislike, but passing your own perceptions about others, is what I find very uncalled for.
For me, you are seeing things from narrow perceptive or may be from the perceptive of a developed country. If you explore more about Indian media, you will come to realize it is already enslaved and may be my idea is not suitable considering the wider audiences.
I beg your pardon for this, but I am not a self proclaimed person, who can insist that I have most positive mind set ever. There are certain limitations to put forth your arguments, be it TED or be it any other platform, your comments and your personal thoughts reflect that its not the "most positive" outlook.
If you could had understood the gist of the message I wanted to convey, we could had extracted something fruitful and meaningful out of completely negative statement, but you chose otherwise.
Believe me mate, its just an idea, not going to imposed on you, you have every right to disagree, but throwing so many question marks to the person who is starting the argument, is not going to help anyone. I expected constructive discussion, destroying life is the last thing I can think of. Just go through what Yubal has written, he also opposes the idea, but he fetches respect from whosoever read it.
Thanks for your contribution.May 9 2012: don't twist my words. i didn't claim that you enforce your views on me. i said you want to enforce them on news providers. you repeatedly said so, and you didn't demonstrate the opposite. it is "merely being an idea" is not an excuse. the idea is to enforce your view on others, and that is why the idea is wrong. but not wrong as bad. wrong as immoral.
how my argument is dependent on the development level of a country? in a poor country, it is acceptable to enforce your views on others? why?
media enslaved by who? if the media is enslaved, what is the merit in imposing more rules on them? in that case, you will need to regulate the enslaver instead. but it would be even better to free media, so it is not enslaved.
i am talking about the gist of your idea. i never talked about anything else. the gist of your idea is to ban behavior you don't like. a news website for example does not want to report positive news. but you go there and say "either you put positive news up, or you will be shut down, and your income will be gone.". that is your idea. that is what we are talking about.
May 9 2012: Ohh I am sorry, You got it completely wrong and I would say its height of misinterpretation and then also it is going into an endless argument.
The gist of my story is NOT "to ban what I don't like", let them publish they are already doing, its all about asking a dedicated space to bring forward something positive everyday.. its not about blocking anything.. where did I say to filter the news?
I feel sorry for myself that I fell short of words to explain my idea. Blocking something is worst thing that can be proposed, and here in India, I am part of group who are protesting against the ban on social media!
Gist of my story is : To have a dedicated space for positives, its all about adding something..I am not advocating deleting-blocking or any kind of filtering.
By saying media is enslaved, I mean, there is some section of media which presents the rosy picture always against the misdeeds of some influential people.
To summarize:
-- I am completely against any kind of blocking or filtering of news that is being interpreted by you, the idea I proposed here is to open a dedicated department in media houses to bring forward the positive things happening at very small levels and that too on a regular basis.
May be you can suggest better words to frame my questions, any contribution is welcome whole heartily.May 9 2012: you fall into the common trap of wanting hills with no valley. a news website front page or a tv channel has limited time and space, also limited work hours. if you force them to show some news, you implicitly force them to exclude some others.
again. the situation is simple. they are the service provider. i am the customer, and i want to get their services. we agree on that. you have no right to interfere. if you do this, you commit aggression on us. that is simple.
May 9 2012: If you have understood my intentions, I would request you to suggest something in this direction, leaving things as they are, is not the solution. May be you can also suggest to rephrase my question.May 24 2012: I hope it is so: it is freedom and we the people's interest that govern this country... We have the freedom to sell nearly anything that abides the science's moral code, and the freedom to buy anything that is sold. We have the freedom to create and innovate, to start up businesses. Freedom, and we the people may govern this country, but the businesses we create control this country. I wish the people who complain about the presidential government and how things are run, would take a stand and develop a business.
The last business standing will be true president of this country.

Now that the dust has settled across Europe, Planet Rugby thought it was only right to hand out some praise to the stars of Heineken Cup, Round 5.
Without further ado, here comes our offering - be sure to send in your own 15-1 team selections.
Team of Round 5
15 Leigh Halfpenny (Cardiff Blues) - Still one of the first onto the plane for the British & Irish Lions, Halfpenny was a positive force on a tough day for the Blues in Toulon. A brace from the Wales full-back added some gloss to the scoreline.
14 Ugo Monye (Harlequins) - Snubbed by England and finding himself £10,000 short during last week due to a banking theft on his account, Monye turned his fortunes around with a great performance on his 200th game for Quins.
13 Benoit Baby (Biarritz) - One try and two assists for the former France centre lands him a spot after Biarritz's bonus-point win over Zebre, with Baby making plenty of metres in the process.
12 Wesley Fofana (Clermont) - Hitting a purple patch ahead of the Six Nations, Fofana was magnificent against Exeter - with over 100 metres made and finishing off an excellent team try.
11 Eli Walker (Ospreys) - The young Wales winger continued to impress with another fine showing, this time against Leicester Tigers. His clever footwork and searing pace led to the equalising try from Jonathan Spratt with time running out.
10 Owen Farrell (Saracens) - A real statement from the incumbent England fly-half. Perfect with the boot landing 11/11 kicks, Farrell might not be as expressive as Freddie Burns but his accuracy with the boot is crucial. Great composure.
9 Kahn Fotuali'i (Ospreys) - With Will Genia returning from injury, there is no better scrum-half around than Fotuali'i. Another commanding performance for the Osprey earned him the Man of the Match award. He will be highly sought after in the coming months.
8 Joe Bearman (Ospreys) - We found it difficult to leave out returning Scotland squad member Johnnie Beattie and also the immense Nick Williams. But there was a former Dragons forward playing an exceptional brand of rugby in Swansea. In went Bearman.
7 Justin Tipuric (Ospreys) - Rob Howley would be a brave coach to select Sam Warburton over Tipuric for their Six Nations opener against Ireland. The Osprey's step to go past Jordan Crane was superb while he mixed power with skills throughout against the Tigers.
6 Peter O'Mahony (Munster) - Was outstanding against Edinburgh. Nineteen carries in all from the youngster whose stock continues to rocket in Ireland while Stephen Ferris is out.
5 Courtney Lawes (Northampton) - The Lions hopeful had been criticised in recent weeks for, among other things, for being too upright in contact. But Lawes silenced a great deal of his critics against a resilient Castres forward pack on Friday in an all-action display.
4 Patricio Albacete (Toulouse) - The French giants had a tight and physical game-plan early on against Treviso and Albacete was key to it. The evergreen Puma second-row's try following hooker Gary Botha's effort after six minutes at Ernest Wallon laid the platform.
3 Matt Stevens (Saracens) - Stevens was in excellent form against Racing on Saturday as he continues his impressive performances after announcing he'd retired from international rugby. Solid in the set-piece and busy in broken play, Stevens gets in as our tighthead.
2 Jean Charles Orioli (Toulon) - Without Sebastien Bruno not playing, Saturday brought a big chance for Orioli and one which he took. Apparently John Smit is on his way to the club next term so Orioli will have another veteran to compete with. This week though he's No.1.
1 Cian Healy (Leinster) - In our eyes the Lions loosehead shirt has Healy's name all over it. He was a carrying machine against the Scarlets and edges Ulster's Tom Court to our final jersey. The fact he only played 40 minutes makes you wonder what he could've done in 80.

Celebrating 75 Years of Excellence in the Honors College
First thesis student graduate:1934
Largely a thesis opportunity, our beginnings coincided with the establishment of the College of Arts & Sciences in what had been a normal school begun in 1910. Despite a war-time hiatus from 1942-48, 31 theses were completed during these two decades, most in arts and sciences with a few in education. Some graduates became international scholars, and at least two returned to Kent for their faculty careers.
The thesis emphasis continued as the KSU population swelled and new programs were added; all but these were in humanities, and 5 of the 13 thesis students returned later to become distinguished faculty members,one as Honors dean.
This was a turning-point decade for the university.
Tremendous expansion of academic programs occurred with the addition of a number of Ph.D. degrees. In 1960 Honors became a program, fully available to all majors and in 1965 college status was achieved with the appointment of the first dean. The number of thesis students increased to 91 (though by now it had become an option), and a large number of Honors versions of departmental courses began to be offered. The first Honors scholarships were created and, Honors began to coordinate the high school early-admission program and Advanced Placement.
This decade started with the creation of the required cornerstone, two-semester, 8-hour Freshman Honors Colloquium, designed to replaced freshman English. On May 4, 1970, the Honors dean took leadership in crowd control. One of the four slain students was an Honors freshman. Following the shootings, Honors became the home of Experimental Programs, established to provide a large array of courses on social issues taught by volunteer faculty and community members (for about 15 years we were known as the Honors and Experimental College). More special-topics courses in Honors were offered in addition to Honors courses in departments, and departments were asked to design Honors clusters for their majors. Honors took on coordination of the university artist/lecture series. A major test competition for scholarships was held for a number of years (later abandoned), and the Creative Artist Award freshman scholarship was established. KSU hosted one of the annual NCHC conferences and later, the Mid-east Honors Association conference.
1980s and 1990s
The last two decades of the century saw continuous growth in the Honors population to over 1,300 and to five of the seven regional campuses. The 1980s placed the university's new general education program under the oversight of Honors. The scholarship budget and recruitment programs expanded greatly, and several endowed scholarships were created. Increasing numbers of Honors students majored in non-Arts & Sciences fields, and increasing numbers held part-time jobs. Three study-abroad programs were developed, two remaining at present. New curriculum options were introduced to provide flexibility to students. Staff was expanded significantly, despite the loss of the assistant dean position in 1991, to handle the increasingly heavy advising load and program coordinating duties. Honors became the home of the University Teaching Council. For the first time Honors moved into a consolidated living-learning center--through a state Program Excellence Award--and matured to the point of satisfying the "Sixteen Characteristics of a Fully-Developed Honors Program." Extensive efforts were made to re-connect with Honors alumni. The Honors College Alumni Chapter was formed and the Distinguished Honors Alumni Award was instituted.
The "Intellectual Frolic" marking the celebration of 70 years of Honors education at Kent State University was a huge success. A large group of students, alumni, and university friends gathered to hear outstanding speakers (Owen Lovejoy, John West, and Chuck Richie), view samples of work done by students and alumni, and renew old friendships. Several special friends of the Honors College were recognized with awards of excellence for their stewardship, scholarship, and service (Gary and Cynthia Bengier, Ed Canda, and Jeff Whipple). The "nuts and berries" lunch gave everyone plenty of time to chat and catch up on lives since their Kent State University days. If you know someone who attended, ask him or her about the secret alumni oath!
After more than three years of discussion and planning, the campus community celebrated the grand opening of the new Honors College facility. Located in the historic heart of the Kent State campus, the Honors College is situated at the juncture of the newly rebuilt Stopher and Johnson Residence Halls. This 10,500 square-foot facility contains classrooms, library/lounge areas, gallery space, an expanded central lobby, and advising offices. The Honors Complex is a public commitment to the value the University places on the special undergraduate Honors experience.
The Honors College encourages the global learning associated with off-campus programs. The creation of The Honors Semester in Florence program is designed to offer challenging and engaging experiences at Kent State's historic 13th century Palazzo dei Cherchi in Florence, Italy. A wide selection of Kent State classes is available, three of which are specifically designed for Honors students.

In announcing the Affordable Excellence initiative at Roger Williams University in October 2012, President Don Farish launched this President's Blog as a key tool in starting a broad conversation, both on campus and beyond, on access to and affordability of American higher education.
Colleges and universities across the country are undergoing a seasonal transformation, from relatively tranquil oases to frenetic hives of activity, as the students, new and returning, arrive on campus for another academic year. It's the circle of life, campus style, playing out in highly predictable ways.
In the midst of the excitement of the students' arrival, there are poignant vignettes of parents saying goodbye to their sons and daughters. It is often a traumatic time for both students and parents – and this seems to be particularly true for parents trying to cope as their first-born, or last-born, leaves the nest.

Haunted by memories of his ex-girlfriend Alice, a heartbroken Billy returns home to Northern Virginia seeking solace from old friends. But what he finds there is more disconcerting than comforting: his best friend Stanley has become unstable, mysterious, and withdrawn from those around him. Billy teams up with another old friend, Stanley's roommate Christian, to find out what's going on, and as they probe Stanley's recent activities, their friend's behavior seems more and more bizarre and frightening. The discovery of blood-stained evidence among Stanley's possessions pulls them deeper into their friend's nightmare -- and eventually leads to a violent confrontation that not everyone will survive.

Earlier this week, we told you about our support of a massive cockfighting bust that spanned three counties in New York State. At the request of the New York State Attorney General's Office, the ASPCA is still on the ground at an Ulster County farm, assisting with the removal, transport and sheltering of as many as 4,000 fighting roosters.
While our responders establish a temporary shelter, where the birds will be cared for and housed pending court disposition, law enforcement officers have arrested three individuals associated with the farm, where birds allegedly destined for cockfights, were bred and trained. The owner of the property was apprehended in south Florida, and according to investigators and an article in the New York Times, has operated an extensive cockfighting pipeline for years.
Several other arrests were made on Saturday night when investigators busted a cockfight in Queens and raided a pet shop in Brooklyn. Cockfighting is illegal in all 50 states. In New York, cockfighting and possession of a fighting bird at a cockfighting location are felonies, with each charge carrying a maximum penalty of four years in jail and a maximum fine of $25,000.
Stay tuned to ASPCA.org/blog for more news to come—and please consider making a gift to the ASPCA today. Together we can rescue more animals from lives of suffering and abuse.

Spending cuts proposed by City Council members would reduce Mayor Tom Henry's 2013 budget by about $2.2 million, trimming several staff positions and even one whole department.
In all, council members submitted nearly 30 individual cuts – although some of the ideas overlapped – according to information provided by city Clerk Sandra Kennedy's office.
Henry's budget calls for a tax increase of about 6 percent on most property owners to close a $6 million deficit in the spending plan. Even if council approves all the spending cuts, the city would need to either raise taxes by at least 3 percent or use money from its cash reserves to balance the budget.
The 28 proposed cuts range from small items – such as $500 from council's public relations budget – to large, such as a proposal by Councilman Marty Bender, R-at large, to eliminate the city's whole internal audit department and its $272,971 budget.
Councilman Russ Jehl, R-2nd, proposed a $300,000 cut to the maintenance program for the Citizens Square building, along with the city's $500,000 share of a new city-county 911 phone system, which he said would likely be paid for with other funds.
Several Republican members targeted the mayor's office's budget for a $50,000 cut that would eliminate a community liaison job. Jehl also suggested not replacing two retiring employees – one in the city clerk's office and one in property management.

Sauber team boss Monisha Kaltenborn celebrated after both Nico Hulkenberg and Esteban Gutierrez qualified inside the top ten in Korea...
Sauber team boss Monisha Kaltenborn celebrated after both Nico Hulkenberg and Esteban Gutierrez qualified inside the top ten in Korea.
For the first time this season both drivers excelled in qualifying with Gutierrez making his first appearance in Formula One's top ten shoot-out.
The Mexican rookie brought his C32 home in ninth place, one place and 0.168s behind his more experienced team-mate.
"This was our best qualifying result this year, and so we are very happy about that," said Kaltenborn.
"It confirms our strength and our performance shows we have improved the technical side of the car. I am all the more happy about the fact this time both drivers were able to use the car's potential."
Meanwhile Gutierrez is hoping to turn his good qualifying into a "consistent race" - and maybe even his first World Championship points.
"The communication was very good today, a big thank you to the entire team," said the rookie racer. "I've improved my qualifying and once you have both cars working on a similar level you can push yourself a lot more.
"This is the first time I have driven here, so it is great to achieve a result like that.
"It is now the second time in a row I have been able to put in a good qualifying performance and that is a good feeling, because I have worked a lot to improve. The race will be interesting.
"The track temperature changed in Q3 and I had a bit of an issue with the balance of the car, and the front grip. Tomorrow will be similar to today, so we need to consider that in order to have a consistent race."

Science Stars Shine at Orlando Science Center
Presenting the 15th Annual Dr. Nelson Ying Science Competition Celebrating the Exemplary Achievements of Local Science Students
Friday, April 26–Sunday, April 28
ORLANDO, Fla. (April 23, 2013)—Since 1999, Dr. Nelson Ying—local scientist, entrepreneur and philanthropist—has partnered with Orlando Science Center to celebrate the exemplary achievements of local science students. From April 26–28, five finalists from area high schools will compete for the coveted "Ying Prize" during the Dr. Nelson Ying Science Competition. The Grand Prize winner also receives a $5,000 scholarship, a $1,000 award for the student's science teacher or mentor and another $1,000 for the winner's school.
To compete in the Ying Competition, each entrant must perform a research project that has the ultimate goal of benefiting humanity. Previous entries have investigated treatments for Alzheimer's disease, faster delivery of mechanisms for medicine and solutions for beach erosion, just to name a few. Project reports are submitted and reviewed by a distinguished panel of judges including current and retired engineers, scientists, educators, and Dr. Ying, himself.
Five finalists are selected each year to present their findings before the judges' panel. This year, the project topics range from computer science to environmental sciences and reflect Central Florida's role as an emerging leader in the science and technology industry. Finalists include winners of previous science fair competitions at the county and state level. They include:
- Sarah Van Sickle of Brevard County's Satellite Beach High School. Sarah Van Sickle is a senior at Satellite High School in Satellite Beach, Fla.
